Chapter 163: Chapter 135: Where Did Dad Go?
Wang Zhixian looked at the exquisitely wrapped gift box in her hand, having no idea what Gao Yuan’s gift would be.
But the fact that it was from Gao Yuan was already enough to make her happy.
However, when she saw Gao Yuan playing on his phone alone in a corner, a smile occasionally gracing his face, Wang Zhixian’s spirits fell.
’He must be chatting with his girlfriend!’
’His girlfriend is so beautiful, and she’s probably really fun, too!’
...
"Xiaoxian, I see you keep looking at Gao Yuan. Should I ask him to sing a birthday song for you?"
Wang Zhixian was staring blankly at Gao Yuan when Wang Sichao walked up to her and spoke.
"Ah!"
"No, no, it’s fine. It’s great that he could come at all."
On a sofa in the corner of the banquet hall, Gao Yuan was engrossed in typing.
This was his first time attending a party like this, and he didn’t know anyone here. He’d originally thought Jay Chou would show up, but it turned out Jay Chou had a concert tonight.
’Having a concert is a good thing,’ Gao Yuan thought. ’Not only is it fun, but it would also help promote my GY brand. Unlike now, where I’m just stuck here, bored, tapping away on my phone.’
’Still, this isn’t too bad,’ he mused. ’No one’s bothering me. I can eat and drink as I please, and I get to check out the long legs once in a while.’
Speaking of long legs, Gao Yuan was a little envious of Wang Sichao. The guy was surrounded by a two-deep circle of women, with even more of them eyeing him from the periphery.
His insane luck with the ladies wasn’t the least bit affected by his looks.
Gao Yuan, on the other hand, was now undeniably handsome and had a strong, healthy build—a woman’s ideal bed partner, simply put. But he was missing one thing: a dazzling business card.
That "business card" being a well-known background or a big reputation.
No one knew he was a future titan, so they didn’t know what they could possibly gain from him.
’It’s good that no one’s bothering me, though,’ he thought. ’I’m a bit busy right now anyway.’
He had just finished replying to Lin Wanyu and Li Mengqing in their little three-person group chat when he immediately had to respond to Xiao Xiao and Xiao Yu.
Plus, when Tongtong had asked him earlier when he was returning to Hang City, he’d casually sent her a photo of the banquet, which had prompted her to start messaging him nonstop as well.
Thankfully, it didn’t matter if he replied to Tongtong’s messages late, or even at all. Gao Yuan knew she wouldn’t mind.
’Having this many women really is time-consuming.’ His hands were starting to ache from all the typing.
’I really wish I could just pull Xiao Xiao into the three-person group chat. It would be so much simpler.’
But Gao Yuan also knew it wasn’t the right time. He had to find the right opportunity, and ultimately, he had to make it seem like the three of them were taking the initiative.
He had to be the one to "passively accept" the situation. That was the only way to ensure stability on the home front.
Right now, Gao Yuan’s main focus was on placating Lin Wanyu. He had promised to come home today but had unexpectedly delayed by a day, which made Lin Wanyu very unhappy.
She kept threatening to storm over to Shanghai and punish him right now.
He had promised Xiao Xiao he’d be home tonight, and since he couldn’t clone himself, there was no way he could let Lin Wanyu come over now.
Looking at Wang Sichao, who was busy entertaining a flock of beauties, Gao Yuan suddenly had an idea.
He picked up his phone, snapped a picture of Wang Sichao, and sent it to the three-person group chat.
"Not sure how late I’ll be. I’m stuck here with Eldest Young Master Wang celebrating someone’s birthday!"
"Be good. Wait for me."
"Hmph. So you only remember other people’s birthdays."
Reading Lin Wanyu’s message, Gao Yuan suddenly remembered that her birthday was coming up soon, too.
He remembered it was around Christmas. At this thought, Gao Yuan grew tense. ’Please don’t let today be her birthday.’ If he missed it, that little vixen would be heartbroken.
At that moment, he couldn’t be bothered with replying to Xiao Xiao and Xiao Yu. He opened the memo app on his phone and started searching.
This was where you had to admit Gao Yuan was clever. He had the birthdays of every single one of his women noted down in his phone.
He even had Meiting’s and Xiaoyan’s birthdays recorded. After all, what women cared about was being remembered. He might not be able to be with them all the time, but on their birthdays, Gao Yuan would definitely make it perfect.
He even set special alarm reminders for each date.
Luckily, so far, none of their birthdays had overlapped. Otherwise, it would’ve been a total disaster for Gao Yuan.
When he saw the date recorded for Lin Wanyu’s birthday in his memo app, Gao Yuan let out a long sigh of relief.
’There are still four or five days. Plenty of time.’
"How could I ever be so focused on others that I’d forget the person I love most!"
"I’ve already got your birthday gift ready."
Gao Yuan sent these two messages to Lin Wanyu in a private chat.
Sure enough, Lin Wanyu, who was currently snuggled on the sofa with Li Mengqing watching TV, instantly broke into a smile.
She couldn’t remember ever telling Gao Yuan when her birthday was, yet he remembered. ’This man is truly worth loving.’
"Honey, finish up soon and get some rest!"
"Love you!"
Seeing Lin Wanyu’s messages, Gao Yuan knew he had handled it.
As for Li Mengqing, Gao Yuan wasn’t as worried. He just sent her a private message, telling her he’d be back tomorrow and had a gift for her.
After soothing the feelings of those two, Gao Yuan went back to chatting with Xiao Xiao.
Xiao Xiao was becoming quite interesting. Gao Yuan had just discovered that she had a clingy side to her.
She had started messaging him not long after he’d left the house.
"Have you arrived?"
She was checking if he had arrived safely.
"Have you been drinking?"
"Should I send someone to pick you up?"
Her concern was truly meticulous.
Her latest message said that Xiao Yu wanted to wait up for him before going to sleep. This made Gao Yuan suspect that Xiao Xiao was just using Xiao Yu as an excuse to get him to come home earlier.
